Applications for the 2026 Accelerator are now closed. Please get in touch to be considered for one of our other programs!
That’s why we bring the best and brightest entrepreneurs together to join one of our 12-week accelerator cohorts, scheduled to start in late-winter 2026!
Cohort businesses are matched with a curated temporary board of advisors from our mentor pool who fit the startup’s unique needs. During the 16-week accelerator, the startups will have a home base at Bricks Coworking & Innovation Space and will participate in a targeted curriculum covering a wide range of meaningful content, including customer discovery methodologies, revenue models, sales, employment law, fundraising, and pitch refinement.
Additionally, startups can benefit from meeting with our entrepreneur-in-residence, join a “Beers with Peers” brainstorming session, attend ecosystem networking events, and compete for a cash prize in our Demo Day pitch event.
Each cohort member will exit the accelerator with connections to founders, advisors, and service providers, a solid knowledge base, a flexible and discounted coworking space membership, and guaranteed investor pitch opportunities.
Dirigo Model: Through a series of sessions, each business will produce a custom-fit financial model.
Dirigo Build: Iteratively develop and refine your value proposition, and ensure product/market fit and scalability.
